Paternity by declaration
Under Angola's Family Code, paternity can be established by the father's situation (the child being treated as his, or a union between the parents) or by declaration. The father may declare paternity at any time. An unmarried mother may declare it during the father's lifetime and up to a year after the birth, provided the father can be notified personally and does not contest it within a year. The declaration is entered in the civil registry.
Where the birth record shows no father and the child is under three, the registry must send a copy to the public prosecutor within 60 days so that paternity can be investigated in court. A child may also ask a court to establish paternity. The outcome is recorded in the civil registry, on the birth record. See our Portuguese page.
How the record looks
Proof of paternity is usually a full copy of the birth record with the declaration or the court decision entered as a note (averbamento), or the court judgment itself. Under the Civil Registration Code a name change that follows recognition does not need ministerial authorisation, so the note may also record the child's new surname. We translate the record, every note and its date.
USCIS uses such records to show the relationship between a father and a child born outside marriage. If the declaration was made years after the birth, both dates are translated as printed so an officer sees the sequence. See the Angolan name change page. Angola is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so where a US court or agency wants an authenticated original, the document is legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX) and then by the consulate of the country where it will be used. USCIS does not ask for that.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
